A New Chapter

Chapter one

I stood in front of the gold guilt mirror and looked in wonder at the girl in front of me. Her bright red hair was piled up on top of her head, the fringe in perfect lose curls framing her face. Her pale complexion looked creamy and had a sort of brightness which shone from under the skin. She coloured when my eyes met the shining emerald ones looking back at her in awe. A white dress clung to her hips and bust and gave her curves I always dreamed of. A dark head of hair looked over her shoulder, blues eyes trained on hers in the mirror.

'Isn't it fantastic? It looks absolutely amazing on you. You're glowing!' the black haired beauty squealed. I turned around and met her shining eyes, looking down I saw the most incredible dress and killer satin heels. Looking back at the mirror the girl smiled, i felt my breath stutter as I realised that it was me in the mirror and I turned back around with the huge smile on my face,

'Yes it's perfect, thank you Izzy, but I must say you don't look bad yourself.' Izzy was wearing an amazing short Christopher Kane galaxy print dress which made her legs look incredible and on her feet was trademark Izzy. 7 inch black sparkly Christian Louboutin heels finished off the outfit, her thick black hair hung down her back like waves. A frowned crossed my face and I took my bottom lip by my teeth.

'Don't worry no one will be looking at me today, everyone's eyes will be on you! Have you not seen yourself, wait I'll get the photographer I need a picture of my masterpiece!' with that Izzy marched out of the room, I rolled my eyes, six hours Isabella had spent on me: buffing, moisturising and exfoliating every part of my body. My nails were perfect crescents and painted a pale pink; my make-up was natural and it made my green eyes look even greener. Izzy had done a fabulous job no one could deny it.

Izzy walked back in the room followed by my mum and Luke. 'Oh Clary, you look so beautiful,' a small tear ran down the side of Jocelyn's face which she quickly wiped away before engulfing me in a hug. I smiled it made me feel like I was a little girl again, over her shoulder Luke smiled and winked at me his eyes shone with pride. 'Yes Clary you look wonderful, well done Izzy you made her scrub up well,' everyone laughed at Luke's comment while I slowly turned red. No one was going to forget my clumsiness quickly then, even with balance rune I still managed to trip over and fall face first into a muddy puddle while out on my hen night a couple of nights ago.

'Come on its nearly time, are you ready…, Fray?' Simon came running into the room and stopped with his mouth wide open when he saw me. 'Wow Clary you look, umm well I mean...' he coughed and looked around before meeting Izzy's eyes, 'you look amazing Clary,' Izzy finished for him still staring into Simon's eyes. Luke cleared his throat and the pair of them blushed and broke eye contact and looked around the room. I let out a small giggle the two of them were so perfect for each other it was unbelievable. The only problem was nether one of them would admit it to the other one that they liked them, who would have thought Izzy would be shy when it came to boys. Luke chuckled to before adding 'how about that picture then Clary?' I nodded and went over by the window smiling to the camera.

'Simon come here I need one with you,' Simon stood next to me and I wrapped my arms around his waist. Even with 5 inch heels on I was still a midget and only reached the bottom of his chin. 'You do look amazing Clary, he's so lucky to have you' Simon whispered in my ear and I smiled up at him, another camera flash at this image. 'Izzy get over her I need one of me with my two best friends!' she laughed and came running over, I gapped still not understanding how she can run in heels. 'Close your mouth Clary, it just takes practice to run in them, now smile!' I smiled, for the second time today Izzy had read my mind; we spend too much time together I concluded. I thought about how I met Izzy and was so glad that I decided to go to pandemonium that night with Simon, who knows what would have happened if I hadn't have.

'It's time' Jocelyn broke my thoughts with those two words; two words which caused butterflies in my stomach to flutter faster than I thought would be possible. I looked up from the floor and met everyone's smiles with my own before smoothing down my dress and standing next to Luke. Simon dropped a kiss on my cheek and sent a smile to Izzy before walking out of the room. Jocelyn kissed my forehead and began to walk out of the room before gasping and quickly turning around. 'I nearly forgot these were the earrings I got married in and I want you to have them' she reached into her bag and pulled out a faded blue velvet box, handing it over she said 'I know they might bring back bad memories of your father' I frowned at that and touched the Morgenstern ring on my neck, the ring reminded me of who I am no matter how crazy and deranged my father was. 'But they are a family heirloom and it would mean so much to me to see you wearing them' she bent and whispered in my ear 'they give you good luck, I know that because they gave me you' I opened the box and found the most amazing pair of drop diamond earrings I had ever seen. 'They are beautiful' I said and quickly put them on and hugged my mother before she walked out to take her seat.

I wiped away a stray tear that escaped and smiled at Luke and Izzy who didn't look dry eyed at all. Luke was hastily wiping at tears falling down his face and Izzy was dabbing at tears in her eyes not letting them fall. After they had both composed themselves Izzy handed me a bouquet of lilies, smiling I smelt the fresh flowers and pronounced, 'I'm ready.' I grabbed Luke's arm and we set off walking out of my room and down the corridors to the ballroom in the conclave. The ballroom in Idris seemed like the perfect setting it was beautiful and where I would be spending the rest of my life. Also I secretly wanted it here as I still have dreams of dancing in it until the night grows light again, but I'll never share that with anyone. Stopping outside a great oak door I composed myself before watching Izzy open the doors and gracefully float down the aisle, I watched her walk and kept my eyes trained on her head to stop myself from tripping.

Then Izzy was gone from in front of me and I had to look straight ahead. I cursed myself softly for not looking earlier as my emerald green eyes locked with the most beautiful twinkling amber ones. The owner of these eyes smiled and I couldn't help but smile back at his perfect smile which made my knees tremble. He knew this and a teasing glint appeared in his eyes. Finally I was next to him and could smell his apple and soap smell which to me felt like home. Turning quickly I gave Luke I quick kiss in the cheek and noticed the people behind him. My mother, Marsye and Magnus were sat on the front row all sobbing into little handkerchiefs. 'Blooming heck' I thought 'we haven't even started yet' turning back around I faced him and he took my smooth hands in his calloused ones. Over his shoulder I saw the blue eyes of Alec and sent him a quick smile which he returned quickly. I was glad that we were friends now and that he no longer hated me. Looking back at him I took in his carefully dishevelled hair, which he would say comes naturally if anyone asked. But I know that he takes time and effort to get it in the state it is. I lifted my hand up and if to run my fingers through his hair but quickly stopped myself and returned it to his hand. He smirked and lifted one eyebrow and I beamed as I lifted my eyebrow in response (yes I can do it now). He laughed at loud and together we turned to face the priest who was smiling down on us both as he began.

'Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage between Jonathon Herondale Lightwood and Clarissa Morgenstern, but this is more than just an exchange of vows it is a sign of true love and devotion to the other. Jonathon if you would please state the vow' "I, Jace Herondale Lightwood, take you Clary Fray for my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." 'Thank you now take this stele and draw the bonding rune onto Clarissa's left hand.' Slowly Jace carefully took the stele and drew the swirling rune onto her left hand; it stung slightly as the stele flowed across the skin. When he was finished Jace took up her left hand and kissed it softly, the crowd behind them sighed and sniffs were heard. Looking into his eyes again Clary melted and the amber eyes were swimming with love and she couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

'Clarissa will you now state your vow' "I, Clary Fray, take you, Jace Lightwood, for my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." 'Thank you; now will you please draw the bonding rune on Jonathon's left hand.' Just as Jace did Clary held the stele and drew on the rune gently and sealed it by kissing it lightly. 'Finally let us exchange the rings, Jonathon place your ring on Clary's third finger and Clarissa will you do the same.' Jace slowly slid on a slim silver ring onto my third finger, taking his time to linger on my hand, before I took his thicker ring and slid it onto this third finger. Emerald and amber eyes locked again but this time they would not be removed by words.

'All that is left for me to do is say, my the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.' Quickly Jace bent down and took my cheeks in his hands, my hands stretching up to tangle in his golden locks as I had wanted to do since the service. Slowly he brought his lips down to mine, dropping small kisses on my forehead, eyelids and nose on the way down before finally meeting my lips with his own. His lips were soft at first but as I pulled him against me, it grew more passionate and we both shared our happiness and love in that embrace. His whole body touching the length of mine and electric shocks ran through my body where we touched. A silver glow appeared around us as we kissed as gasps occurred from the crowd as we shone in the hall. What neither of us notice was the bonding rune turning silver instead of the usual black as our left hands joined during the embrace. Slowing down Jace dropped smaller kisses onto my lips before leaning his forehead against mine and saying softly so only I could hear.

'I love you so much Clary.' I smiled at him my eyes never leaving his as I said.

'I love you too Jace.'
